Today, the weather here near Ramstein was gorgeous, so the Price crew and I packed up and drove about an hour southwest to the lovely city of Trier. Along the way we saw so many new wind-powered generators; it was really cool to see them up close.
Once we got to Trier, we first visited Trier Cathedral, which is sometimes also called St. Peter's Cathedral. I didn't really know where we were going or what to expect, so I was floored when we stepped inside and looked up at the colossal vaulted ceilings and hanging pipe organ. There are a lot more great photos here. Apparently, the church was built be Emperor Constantine in the 3rd century. I can't quite get my mind around how OLD that is.
After the cathedral, we walked up a main shopping street to the Black Gate, or Porta Nigra. It was originally built by the Romans as the old city gate. We also scoped out Constantine's Basilica, the old Roman Imperial bathhouse, and an old Roman Amphitheater.
We also ate pizza and looked around inside H&M. In all, it was an amazing, fantastic day! I'm hoping to put pictures up tomorrow, so stick around! ;)
